French Chevrons

I used a mixture of French General fabrics. I've liked these for a long time and have quite a stash of them, but now find myself drawn to brighter colours when fabric shopping. However Kaari Meng's fabrics really blend well with our home. I love her reds and tans... so timeless!

I was inspired to use this colour range when looking at the 'Pillow Pop' group pictures and am really pleased with it. I actually like it more than the original in the pattern.

I used some red Essex linen on the back and because of the extra weight I didn't quilt the back. The handwriting fabric is from 'Fa-la-la-la-la' by French General.

It's quite different than my first 'Pillow Pop' cushion but I'm very happy with both!

Thank you for leaving a comment and giving me a link to your work. I really value your support and encouragement. :-)Recently I've had a lot of spamming on my blog so apologies to friends for making it trickier to comment. I value genuine comments even more!

I love the buzz of a new idea. Be it in the vegetable patch, for the plate, with some glue and scissors, or on the sewing machine. Taking on a new project and seeing (most of) it through to the finish is a big part of my life.
